so the new year's here once again! the group of us were supposed to see the fireworks at the esplanade but because of the on and off drizzles we headed to mos. it was rather impromptu and annoying because there were close to 20 of us all scattered around and it wasnt easy contacting each other because of the disfunctioning of the phone lines. i'd to call roland almost 10 times before i could get him. and of course it took us damn long to decide where we were heading to.
anyway mos was jam-packed. we could hardly move yet people continued pushing their ways through and it was
oh-my-god. it didnt help when my feets which were killing me because of the heels got stepped so many times.
ughhhhh. we finally left bout 4 plus because i was practically walking at 1km/h even though jy offered to carry me. zzz. and the finale occurred when i was walking down a flight of stairs at eunos mrt station. before i knew it i was falling forward down 4 steps. total embarrassment! haha.
and the irony bout last night or rather this morning was, people were fighting and all when it was supposed to be the start of a
happy new year. oh well. and i'm so sorry for not being able to make it for 04s307's class gathering today because i woke up at 5+ pm when we were supposed to meet at 4pm. and my legs are hurting from the hilarious fall which resulted in a huge bruise starting from my knee to the ankle with 2 humps altogether. haha.
so that sums up my new year's eve =)
okay time for some 2006 reflections. it's gonne be a long entry. haha.
2006 has been a rather havoc year i'd say. the first half was awesome because i was
out of school. then again it wasnt totally because i realised i loathe the working world. and yes not forgetting times when i was terribly upset and melancholic because of some people. but thankfully these hogwash had come to an end. entering
ntu really took a toll in my life because after being in a familiar school system for 12 years, it hit me real hard that spoon-feeding isn't gonna carry on for life and that it's bout time we grow up and depend solely on ourselves. because ultimately we're responsible for our own actions and decisions. life is definitely different presently with hall life and all. well although study still sucks as usual and there were times when i broke down a few times mentally due to the unbearable stress, i suppose it's something we've got to cherish because in 3yrs odd we'd be out there in the working force with no turning backs. its not like doing part time jobs anymore where we could just pack up and say byebye whenever we're unhappy. so yup despite the hectic involvement in uni its been a rather fruitful stay =)
another thing that surprised me was when i started knowing friends particularly guys of course who're done with their ns. their views and preceptions are on total contrary from those who haven't done theirs or rather i should say, deviant? its like they'll say things like planning for the near future, doing reflections and all. which i think ultimately, it isn't a bad thing. its a good thing that guys have to do ns because they really do mature thereafter =)
and yes after last night's unpleasant experience i'm positive it's most probably a house party for the following year's new year's eve. oh yes 2007 is the year we finally hit the big 2.
ahhhhhh. its scary how time flies. i can't believe i won't be a teen in a year's time.
happy new year and may all be blessed with a great 2007 :D
take me with you
